I'm Damaris. I have a soulmate, three kids, two citizenships, one full time job. I don't have a lot of time, a perfectly clean house, or a stylish wardrobe. Around here we tend to focus on the positive, so please ignore the mess, the sporadic posting, and all the little imperfections. We just take it one day at a time. One kiss at a time. One idea at a time. This blog is a glimpse of my heart, of what I love and cherish most. It just so happens that most of it revolves around the greatest thing on earth; food!

New Year's resolutions? I have a few, sort of, not really.

I went to Trader Joe's yesterday, crazy I know, and the cashier was super friendly. He was pumped for the new year. We talked about resolutions. His resolution was to wake up every morning at 3:30am, he wants to be more productive and he's been listening to a lot of motivational speakers, he's learned that successful people wake up early.

I want to be successful. I want to be productive. There is no way I'm getting up at 3:30 am. And on second thought I don't want to be more productive, not 3:30am productive. I'm productive enough. I have to be. Our life is too productive as it is. I think I want less productive actually, but I'm keeping my finger's crossed for the cashier guy.

I asked my Facebook friends what their one word for 2014 is. It ranged from "baby" to "study" to "intense." My word for 2014 is going to be "rested," I guess that's my resolution. 2013 was the year of exhaustion. To many changes, to much sleep deprivation, to many nights staying up just because. Here is to a more restful year.
